The Nittany Lions followed a heart-rending near miss versus Ohio State with an utterly disastrous collapse against Michigan State, but let’s forget 2017 and talk about this season.

Fool us once, shame on us…. Kevin and Chris pour salt in the festering wounds; Brandon makes his way in from the wilderness, and Mike the Mailman barely contributes from his exile in the positivity penalty box. With a suddenly-reeling, and very far from “elite,” Penn State team tumbling in the polls after an indefensible Homecoming debacle, the Obligatory crew tries their best to pick up pieces and make sense of this riddle wrapped inside an enigma that is 2018 Penn State. What exactly is the punishment for slugging an opponent to draw a back-breaking penalty? Does this season’s squad suffer from an acute lack of senior leadership? Has James Franklin lost his locker room? Should some assistant coaches start polishing their resumes? And why, in the name of all that is holy, would you leave Felton Davis in single coverage?? The gang ponders these questions and more as we await whatever comes next.
